As young children use practical life materials such as pouring water in a glass, sweeping the floor or buttoning a shirt, the muscles in the hand, wrist and fingers become stronger, thus developing their fine motor ability.

Fine motor skills are needed in most everyday activities, such as getting dressed, eating, and playing. These skills can be achieved by the maturation of the central nervous system and specific motor experiences.

Tactile sensorial activities and practical life activities should be considered in the environment for fine motor development.

For example, sweeping the floor or wiping the table with a piece of cloth.
